[카타르식스] Heung-min’s son: Heroes wear masks

Qatar Six, the third main character is Son Heung-min.

The Qatar World Cup special ‘Qatar Six’ on Aju Economy’s YouTube channel is the story of 6 members of the Qatar World Cup national team for more catharsis.

Catharsis is what football is all about. Beyond the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, we yearn for another influential catharsis. As the saying goes, ‘you see as much as you know’, once you know, you can enjoy the World Cup more immersed in it.

The protagonist of the story to feel the third catharsis of ‘Qatar Six’ is Son Heung-min, the captain of the Korean national football team.



Son Heung-min shed tears of sadness at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2018 World Cup in Russia. In this 2022 World Cup in Qatar, ‘Crybaby Son Heung-min’ returned to world class. EPL top scorer, Puskas Award winner, as well as a great career, shines in Korea. Of course, it was unclear to play due to a sudden ‘facial injury’, but miraculously, he played an active role in Korea’s first World Cup game against Uruguay. The whole nation could feel his attitude towards the World Cup from the way he ran while wearing a mask.

Like Batman and Gaksital, the heroes wore masks. Can Heung-Min Son become a Korean World Cup hero by inheriting the fighting spirit of Kim Tae-Young, who played an active role in the 2002 World Cup wearing a mask? Come and meet the story of the hero Son Heung-min, who wears an uncomfortable mask and does his best to relieve the catharsis of the people.
